Code Word Solver - Missing Words Finder

Solve codeword puzzles faster (without guesswork)

If you’re stuck on a codeword (code-cracker) puzzle, this tool helps you narrow down possible answers using the pattern you already have—so you can decode the grid with confidence. Codewords replace letters with numbers (1–26), and once you identify a letter’s number, that mapping applies everywhere in the puzzle.

Built for codewords: single word or multiple patterns

Use the solver in two ways:

Single pattern solving: Enter one word pattern and get matching word candidates.

Multi-pattern solving: Enter two patterns at once to solve linked words side-by-side—useful when the same number/letter relationships appear across words.

How the pattern input works

Enter what you know and let the solver do the filtering:

Use . or ? for unknown letters.

Use numbers for repeated unknown letters (so the solver keeps repeats consistent). Example: 112.2 can match words like “llama”.

For step-by-step guidance and examples, see the instructions.

Choose your difficulty dictionary

Different puzzles (and different players) need different word lists. Pick the dictionary size that fits your style:

Hard (260k words)

Normal (115k words)

Easy (20k words)

Community-powered word coverage

If you find a word that isn’t in the database (or you want to add an extra definition), you can submit it to help improve coverage over time.
